This cross was bought for me as a present for my confirmation. As we're at the point in Lent where we begin to particularly turn our attention towards the events of Holy Week, it seemed a good time to share a photo of a cross (especially this one - crosses, statues and other images in churches would traditionally be veiled from Passion Sunday until Easter; stained glass windows would be the only images left unveiled).
I've always loved how this cross brings brightness and colour into the house, and how you can see the outside world through it. It's a reminder that through faith, we invite the true source of hope and joy into our lives, and by faith we see everything through a different light.
Seeing the coloured light from the cross transforming the walls of the room on a sunny day also reminds me of the challenge, and call, faith brings to share the wonderful Good News with the world.
